Super Absorbent Polymers is a material that has a high liquid-absorbing capacity due to its cross-linked structure polymer, which avoids dissolution and can absorb liquid up to 100 times its weight. According to BlueQuark Research & Consulting, the global Super Absorbent Polymers market is expected to witness a significant growth rate during the forecasted period. Factors like the increased use of Super Absorbent Polymers in the Personal Hygiene Industry due to its properties like non-toxic, non-irritating is expected to propel the future Super Absorbent Polymer market in the forecasted period. Further, the usage of Super Absorbent Polymers in the Agricultural industry due to its desirable properties like environmentally friendly, non-corrosive, etc., is estimated to drive the growth of the Global Superabsorbent Polymers market in the forecasted period. Furthermore, the increasing demand for Super Absorbent Polymers in the Healthcare industry is expected to drive the global Super Absorbent Polymer market. However, high fluctuation in the raw materials prices of Super Absorbent Polymers is likely to obstruct the Global Super Absorbent Polymers Market's growth in the forecasted period. 

Super Absorbent Polymers are utilized in baby diapers, adult diapers, sanitary napkins, agricultural products, food packaging, medical equipment, etc. 

The Primary use of Super Absorbent Polymers is in the Personal Hygiene Products Industry. There has been a remarkable increase in the usage of Super Absorbent Polymers in the Personal Hygiene Industry owing to their properties like non-toxic, non-corrosive, non-irritating, environment & user friendly, thereby driving the global SAP market. In personal hygiene, super absorbent polymers are used in baby diapers, adult incontinence products, and sanitary napkins. Among these, the usage of super absorbent polymer is the highest in the baby diapers segment. The rising geriatric population and surging awareness about the advantages and convenience of adult incontinence products are growing the usage of super absorbent polymers. With cases of adult incontinence on the rise, governments of various countries focus on manufacturing incontinence products through collaborative efforts with manufacturers and medical professionals. They are primarily used as absorbents for adult incontinence products, feminine hygiene products, diapers, and similar applications such as personal disposable hygiene products. The most significant property of these products is their capacity to absorb liquid, urine, or blood. This absorption capacity depends on the material of the absorbent pad, which consists of a polymer. The polymer used in the absorbent pad is made from fine particles of various acrylic acid derivatives. They act as tiny sponges and can hold a large quantity of water. Due to the growing infant population, diapers are the most extensive application of super absorbent polymers globally. Rising awareness regarding hygiene worldwide due to growing cases of infectious diseases is predicted to fuel the market growth of super absorbent polymers. Increasing demand for diapers, tissues, and sanitary napkins among health-conscious consumers is expected to augment the market growth of super absorbent polymers. Super absorbent polymers are primarily used in hygiene, as mentioned earlier products. Further, the ever-increasing female population and increased awareness of personal hygiene are resulting in the high demand for sanitary napkins, thereby driving the global Super Absorbent Polymers market. These factors are awaited to drive the Global SuperAbsorbent Polymer market growth.  

The Asia Pacific region is awaited to be a market leader as it is one of the fastest-growing markets for Super Absorbent Polymers. Factors like increasing population, increasing income families, growing infant population, and demand in the domestic and regional markets have elevated the need for Super Absorbent Polymers in these regions, thereby driving the market in the Asia-Pacific region. China, Japan and India are the primary consumers in Asia-Pacific Region, with China holding a sizeable economic GDP. The use of baby diapers in China was late, but it has increased over recent years. A superabsorbent polymer (SAP) is a water-absorbing polymer that can absorb and retain vast amounts of liquid relative to its mass. When mixed, water-absorbing polymers, also called hydrogels, absorb aqueous solutions by hydrogen bonding with water molecules. Due to their exceptional properties, super absorbent polymers (SAPs) have been used in various applications. In agriculture, this material in the soil absorbs water from rains or heavy irrigation and slowly releases it to the roots, emerging at a faster pace of growth. They can also be utilized to discharge pesticides and agrochemicals in a controlled manner. SAP can promote a variation of soil qualities and enhance nutrient retention and water-holding capacity in dry soil. Further, factors like the rise of agricultural activities in China due to the quick increase in domestic and export need for various agricultural products are estimated to drive the Super Absorbent Polymers market. Further, besides personal hygiene and health care, Super Absorbent Polymers are used in other industries, like food packaging and healthcare. Moreover, Japan houses some significant Super Absorbent Polymers market players, such as Sanyo, Nippon Shokubai, Sumitomo Seika, etc. Factors like these have made Asia-Pacific a vital scope for the global Super Absorbent Polymers market.

The market's key players are BASF, Chase Corp, Chemtex Specialty Ltd, Evonik Industries, and LG Chem, among others. 

In Nov 2020, Nippon Shokubai, LiveDo Corporation (Japan), and Total Care System (Japan) jointly developed a recycling technology for Super Absorbent Polymers used in diapers.

In March 2021, BASF invested $30.1 Million in its hygiene business.

In February 2021, Chase Corp announced acquiring the assets of Emerging Technologies, a solution provider and formulator of superabsorbent polymers. Through this acquisition, the company goals to expand its superabsorbent business's market reach.
